1951 Chevy 3800 Panel Truck gas tank

[abassman]

Does anyone know where I can get a gas tank for a 1951 Chevrolet 3800 Panel Truck. The one in my truck measures 42" long x 12 1/2' high x 12 1/4" wide. I would love an original but don't plan to show this truck.

You can use a 1/2 ton tank also but is slightly smaller and will require a little bit of fab work, but is minimal. Due to the way a 1/2 ton mounts to the frame rail (vs your mounts mounting to both rails) they can't use a 3/4-1 ton tank. That might help your search. I ran into this looking for a tank for my suburban and broke down and found a 3/4 tank and mounts since I didn't want to spend the coin on a new tank and mounts.

Thanks, I will check that out. Tom

Just forget it, I'm not going to buy a $25 membership to sell a $50 gas tank!
